Hello,
I used visual studio 2005 to compile "povray.sln" in povwin-src-3.7.
I followed ReadMe , but when I executed pvengined.exe in
povwin-src-3.7\windows\vs8\bin32, it show message
==
This pre-releaseversion of POV-Ray for Windows has expired. We recommend you
obtain a new version,
if one is available,form our website,http://www.povray.org/beta/.
If however you wish to continue using this version,you may do so bu pressing the
EXTEND button,which will re-enable the program for an additional week,at which
time,you will be asked this question again.
If you choose to continue use,please be aware that newer versions that are made
available may fix bugs,add features,or render faster. You are strongly advised
to use newer versions when they become available.
==
But when I pressed the Extend button,it show another message
==
"This pre-release version of POV-RAY for Windows expired on 31 Dec 2010."
==
Can you suggest what should I do,so that I can compile
povwin-src-3.7\windows\vs8\povray.sln?
Additional,in Readme,He says:
"Set 'povwin' as the start-up project if it is not already selected."
But I can't find 'povwin' project.
so what project I should set it a startup projrct.

sorry for misleading you, didn't check the latest
available sources. As there was a problem in an earlier
release it is possible the problem is still in the sources
as they are not yet for beta 39. You can circumvent the
problem by adapting the lines
#define EXPIRE_AT (1272664800 + DAYS(92))
#define HARD_EXPIRY (1293832800)
in source/backend/povray.h to a later date (in seconds).
It's not supposed to give you a hard expiry until 2011.
I suspect the problem are the lines
if (_time32 (NULL) > EXPIRE_AT)
{
MessageBox (NULL, "This pre-release version of POV-Ray for Windows
expired on 31 Dec 2010.", "Pre-release expired", MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP) ;
exit (1) ;
}
in pvengine.cpp, which look a bit like a copy and paste
leftover from the HARD_EXPIRY test.
